About the Game

Brawling has never been more beautiful! The long-awaited sequel to the smash hit action-platformer is here: Guacamelee! 2 brings luchador Juan Aguacate out of retirement for a stunning new Metroidvania-style adventure.

Explore a huge, hand-crafted world inspired by Mexican culture and folklore, filled with sassy new villains and weirdos (and a few old friends!). Learn a deep repertoire of bone-crunching moves to fend off the skeletal hordes and overcome a multitude of platforming challenges.

...and who said anything about a Chicken Illuminati? Certainly not us!

Key Features:

  • New moves like Eagle Boost, Pollo Shot and more add to Juan’s arsenal of combat and platforming abilities.

  • New powers for Juan’s chicken form! Ridiculous chicken-based platforming, combat and exploration. More chicken than you’ll be able to handle (probably).

  • An epic adventure through the worlds of the living and the dead, across rifts in time and space -- more gorgeous than ever thanks to a fancy new rendering engine.

  • Bigger maps, twice as many enemy types as the first game, and a roster of eccentric new bosses.

  • Discover “trainers” from around the world, defeat their challenges, and upgrade your abilities.

  • Soundtrack featuring new music from the composers of the original Guacamelee! OST, plus tracks from special guests Mariachi Entertainment System!

  • Drop-in / drop-out 4-player local co-op through the entire story.
